DETERMINATION OF CONSTITUTIVE RELATIONS FROM PLANE WAVE EXPERIMENTS
Abstract
Recent developments in experimental methods for measuring the characteristics of plane compression waves are reviewed, and analytical methods for inferring constitutive relations from measured wave profiles are discussed. A general method, requiring only pressure or particle velocity measurements, is proposed that is applicable to arbitrary waves in which equilibrium or steady state may not obtain. A summary of current knowledge of constitutive relations obtained from plane wave experiments is also presented.
